Lovely restoration, where did you get the handrails from or
were they already there ?
thanks Trevor.

These handrails are home made on the lathe. The platform had a lot of holes and I was thinking
how to cover these. I decided to make handrails - material is 2, 6 and 10 mm stock bar.
All is screwed from underneath with M 3 screws.The only problem was that I like do make
prototypes - that means 1 piece not 7 - that is series work!!! thats what I hate...

That is a fantastic looking restoration. It looks to be quite large.

Here I have some pictures of my Rehse/Bischoff plant. It was in
a terrible condition and I was lucky to find the perfect motor
from a german collector. My goal was to bring it back to original
look and perfect function. The engage mechanism for the high transmission
with the weight belt tensioner is a very cool extra. The boiler is made
from steel and can take up to 3,5 litre.
Arnold :D
